The following is an official announcement by the
Guardians of the Realms.

Due to the overwhelming response sent to me since my announcement
claiming Provinces cf21-23, cg21 - 23, and ch21 - 23 I hereby
renounce my claims to these provinces. I shall seek out new provinces
further out South and East of this spot.

If anybody plans on claiming any areas in that area, please announce
them now or else I will consider it "Open Territory."

We are still interested in trading with other factions. If you have
stuff to trade, please don't hesitate. Contact me at protect01@aol.com

Also, beware, should any faction(s) attack us, we WILL respond in kind.

Signed,

Guardian Brightstar,
Lord and Commander,
Guardians of the Realms

We have a new world before us. This unknown, unexplored land mass
is just waiting for someone to find all it has in store.

We, The Travelers, are attempting to map this large world, but
we can not do it alone. If you would be willing to donate the
land portions of your turn to our efforts, you will be assisting
in one of the greatest projects in Olympian History!

We also collect and distribute land claims and gate information.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

The New World Order is currently involved in
resource collection in the Camarisian provinces
dm81 through dm84. Since no single faction
can possibly, at this point in the game anyway,
collect all the available resources in four
provinces (no matter what you read in the times!)
we are willing to share, but would like advance
notice so no valuable time is wasted. Of course,
it's a big world, so we doubt anyone will drop
by, but it's better to clear these things up in
advance to avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings.
At some point we may make a formal claim on this
or some other area, but until we do all we ask is
contact from potential visitors.

Thank you, and have a nice rainy season.

The Free Citizens of Drassa would like to post
our claim to ch21 and ch22. Should anyone else
feel they have claim to this area, please respond
posthaste. Previous disputed claims that I KNOW
OF for this land have been resolved.

To the factions we encountered last turn in Ciryon:
====================================

Worry not, we are a peaceful faction of traders and
explorers, seeking a new homeland where we can
build and prosper in harmony with our good neighbors.
Further contact is welcomed through normal channels.

Just a short message to all those who have posted land claims in the
Olympia Times. Making land claims before you have the power to enforce
them is a good way to get yourself killed before you can even begin to
rise in power. If you attack even one noble who violates your claims,
you could easily find yourself trying to fight off a large alliance and
all of their friends. However, if you fail to punish those who violate
the claims, you will be seen as week, and an easy target for the
aforementioned alliance. All that you can do now, is sit tight, build
up your armies, and pray to Atnerks that nobody moves in on your
territory.

This has been a public service anouncement from the bureau of weird
smells and stupid land claims.

WE'RE MOVING!!
Yes, our land claim last month caused an Icy Black stir,
so we're moving to the lands around cr19. More details
as they become available.

Then shall the demons of light raise up mirrored towers to hide their
offense; seeking to bring forth the shades of the ancients from the earth,
and spears of fire from the light. Thus shall many learn of the true way
of the balance, fleeing to far shores to escape its service; yet few shall
reach haven, and many fall under the yoke.

The sword called knowledge shall be unsheathed. Noble, Magus and
Imperator shall proclaim its virtue; trumpeting that it shall bring justice
out of injustice, and lift many unto high station. Yet the blade shall cut
deeply into the bowels of the earth, and burn fiercely the minds of many.
Then shall they turn from its terrors and seek haven from the sword's
touch, bringing forth from the secret chambers the ancient weapons of lore.

"The Peasant's Tongue: An Oral History of Olympia"

A few of Harn's more foolhardy nobles have
ventured into the sewers seeking fortune.
None have surfaced.
Perhaps the treasures aren't so lonely...

We know how to bring harmony and peace to Olympia.
Its so simple we are suprised that no one thought
of it before. All it will take is that all of you
do exactly as we tell you. The end result will be
a virtual paradise.
And if you dont follow our instruction. Well
someone that is against peace, harmony and paradise
is dispicable and contemptible and we know what to
do with you.

The Good Guys

Hoo Hoo
I've just learned Aura Blast
I wonder, I wonder...
Does your target have to be
in the same province as yourself?
I wonder if your victim or perhaps
everyone in the same province as you
will know that you used Aura Blast?
Hmmm, I could try...
But it would be better if Anyone(????)
could tell me.
See you

Well I don't think much of the Web based reports. Do you?
